摘要: 敬畏作为一种复杂的积极情绪,其产生的积极效用很多,例如敬畏带来的渺小感让人安静、温和、谦逊、合作,可以促使个体不断进行自我提升。然而,国内外没有研究明确提出工作敬畏的概念。本篇综述将首次提出“工作敬畏”的概念,通过工作敬畏所可能带来的警戒和自我的改变,梳理敬畏起作用的自我机制,深入识别员工在危机和变化中的心理变化,探讨其对员工心理健康的可能影响。最后,通过对工作敬畏与一般敬畏、其它积极心理学变量的横向比较,剖析了工作敬畏对员工心理健康影响的独特性。
Abstract: Awe, as a positive emotion, has numerous beneficial effects. For example, a sense of smallness that comes with awe makes people peaceful, compassionate, humble, and cooperative. It can motivate people to pursue ongoing self-improvement. However, no empirical investigation, either domestically or internationally, has ever proposed the construct of work awe. This review will introduce the concept of “Work Awe” for the first time. By introducing the potential warning effect and self-changes brought by work awe, we try to clarify the self-related mechanisms explaining how work awe functions, deeply identify employees’ psychological changes in crisis and uncertainty, and explore the potential impact of work awe on employees’ psychological well-being. Finally, we analyze the uniqueness of the impact of work awe on employees’ psychological well-being by comparing work awe with general awe and other positive psychological variables.
